formulation of Fazekas scale6
White Matter Hyperintensity
Quantification
White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in
the brain are the consequence of
cerebral white matter ischemic lesions
Provides quantitative data on WMH
volume when T2-FLAIR image is
uploaded.
Automatically computes Fazekas scale
to quantify amount of white matter
lesions.

· White matter ischemic lesions could a result of
subcortical vascular dementia(SVD), could worsen
the condition if presented together with AD
· Presence of WMH leads to movement disorder,
stuttering, incontinence, cognitive disability
